What happens if I damage an item?

Contact your library as soon as possible to report the damaged item. (If your item was overdue, this will stop any additional late fees from being charged to your card.) If your library is closed now, you can use the Report Damaged Items form. Your library will probably need to look at the item to determine what charges, if any, you will need to pay. Charges for damaged library materials are determined on a case-by-case basis. Fees range from $1 to the item's full replacement cost.
